Haco would later appear in Step Across the Border, 1990's documentary film on Henry Cow's Fred Frith, as well as contributing music to the soundtrack.

In addition to her more conventional album releases Haco has also worked in the fields of sound art; curating exhibitions and installations and establishing the sound art project View Masters (with focus on the environmental sounds of daily life), later beginning the production and curation of a four-year series of View Masters lectures, concerts and workshops in 2002.
